Define your entrepreneurial project

Any business creation begins with a clear idea, anchored in a real need. What problem are you solving? What unique value do you offer?

Analyze your market, identify your competitors and specify the position you want to occupy. This initial vision will become the basis of your strategy.

Next comes the preparation. Measure your means: budget, skills, time, tools. Set your goals and translate them into concrete actions. A solid plan, combining commercial strategy and financial forecasts, will guide you in your choices and strengthen your credibility with future partners.

Finally, structure your work environment from the start. Digital solutions now make it easier to manage the first steps:

  • Creation
  • Follow up
  • Expenses

Professional tools like Qonto allow you to quickly open a dedicated account and centralize your operations, to start on a clear and well-organized basis.

Give legal existence to your business

Once your idea has been clarified, the choice of legal status becomes the first structuring decision of your entrepreneurial journey. It determines your taxation, your social protection, your responsibilities and the way in which you will develop your business. In other words, it is the legal framework that will bring your project to life.

The main options to consider

Take the time to compare tax regimes (income or corporate tax), social security contributions and accounting obligations: this will allow you to anticipate future management and choose the status most suited to your project.

  • There micro-enterprise : ideal for simply starting out and testing an activity. The procedures are quick and the management simplified. On the other hand, turnover is capped and not all expenses are deductible.
  • The EURL or the SASU: perfect for entrepreneurs wishing to separate their personal assets from their professional assets, while maintaining a single direction.
  • The SARL or SAS: preferred if you are starting with several people. They facilitate the distribution of shares and collective decision-making, while offering a more evolving legal framework.

Deposit of share capital

Last step before registration, the deposit of share capital marks the official birth of your company. It consists of blocking the funds provided by the partners (or by the creator alone) in a professional account, until the Kbis extract is obtained.

Previously tedious, this formality is now completely dematerialized thanks to Qonto. In just a few clicks, you can:

Once the choice of status is made, comes the decisive step: official creation.

Since 2023, all formalities have been carried out on the Single Window managed by the INPI (platform centralizing registration), declaration of activity and legal publication.

This digitalization simplifies the life of creators: no travel, no waste of time, everything is done online, in a few clicks. Before submitting your application, gather the essential documents:
